- Lot Description
This is an 1819 Simeon North contract US single shot flintlock pistol, made by North in Middletown Connecticut, in 1819, and so marked on the lockplate. It has marks on the barrel: JD/P, over P, over US. The stock has a fairly clear cartouche, with the letters: JM. There is a sliding safety behind the cock that is in good, functioning condition. Dimensions: The gun is 16 inches long overall, with a barrel length of 10 inches. Processing and shipping within continental U.S. $32.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.
Very good condition, with extremely nice wood, and crisp, clean metal. The marks on the lockplate are worn, and the “S. North” is not visible, and the eagle is largely obscured. Other than that the metal is clean and the markings are sharp. The action is crisp and nice. Witherell's strives to provide as much information and photographs as possible but encourages in-person inspection by bidders. Condition statements are only for general guidance and should not be relied upon as complete statements of fact and do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Witherell's.
